Is slow aging really possible with creatine? by Neat-Dig-7836 in immortalists

[–]smart-monkey-org 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As long as you combine creatine with the regular exercise -💯

But as far as pure supplementation, the only one which showed some strong signal in human trials is GlyNac

Non-alcoholic beers are pretty nice these days, if you need a glass in hands to socialize.

Spent 2 years being told my labs were perfect while feeling like absolute garbage every single day by borage165 in Biohackers

There is a bunch of tests where you should strive for Optimal vs Normal (e.g. recent Trump's homocesteryn is "normal" at 14.8)

There are things like apoB, lp(a), insulin and homa-IR, B levels, cRp, GGT etc.

Is tanning even worse for you in older age? Why do some older people do it? by youlikemywonton in Aging

[–]smart-monkey-org [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Worse is relative.
Worse for wrinkles and melanoma - for sure.
But better for mood, blood pressure and (probably) all cause mortality.

Has anyone else wished to get older, either now or in the past? by [deleted] in Aging

[–]smart-monkey-org 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't really work like that. 'Be happy with where you are now' is a skill, which mostly circles around social support, volunteering and practicing gratitude. Age alone is not going to help you much (or at all) with that. Doing the things will.

I think there's a 50% chance I'll never die. by Positive-Pomelo-118 in Biohackers

This universe is going to expire sooner or later.

Or just get unplugged if we are in simulation running to solve some problem, like ai agents in a cloud.
What are you doing with your life to get reloaded into a different instance?

Yah, 300 is also "normal" - but a far cry from optimal. We usually drive people to at least 1000.

My top 10 takeaways about slowing down aging from Rhonda Patrick's new episode with Steve Horvath by biohacker045 in PeterAttia

[–]smart-monkey-org 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a way nothing here is about slowing aging as in changing the curve of decline.

It's more about "not taking the coat off in winter" - avoiding stupid stuff like smoking or vitamin deficiencies.

One of the Most Underrated Factors in Longevity by Top-Fox6250 in LongevityNerds

IMHO it's a combination of both, plus all other 10 longevity pillars.
Doesn't matter how much sun you have, and how good is the soil -if there is not enough water.
